Claymation
I attended Jill Hinckley's annual show and sale of her work at Hinckley Pottery in Adams Morgan tonight. Jill is one of the treasures of Washington. She makes beautiful functional pottery -- mugs, bowls, colanders, teapots, vases, etc. -- and her work is in the collection of the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery. If you don't know her artistry, you should really stop by tomorrow from 12 to 6. If you can't make it, you can stop by anytime the studio is open and browse through her pieces in the gallery.
I bought another lovely mug for my tea as well as a bowl. My friends Dennis and Mary, who had never been there before, left happily with pieces of their own, as did Robert, who had been there before but never bought anything till tonight.

i just used one of my hinkley cups this morning. instead of my usual make-one-full-mug approach to morning coffee, i made a pot and poured it into one of the less-than-a-mug size cups. the experience of having to refill the cup a couple of times added to the pleasure of drinking the coffee. perhaps at some point i'll try to figure out the how and why of it.
